Thanks to @ProFightsInfo for sending us these results from last night's WWE SmackDown live event in Portland, OR:

* Dolph Ziggler defeated Intercontinental Champion The Miz (w/ Maryse) after a superkick. During the match, Maryse was ejected after the referee caught her slapping Ziggler.

* American Alpha & The Hype Bros. defeated The Ascension & The Vaudevillains. American Alpha picked up the win for their team with Grand Amplitude.

* Apollo Crews defeated Curt Hawkins. Decent match, ended with Crews winning with the spinning power bomb. It didn't seem like a lot of people in the crowd knew either guy.

* WWE Tag Team Champions Heath Slater & Rhyno defeated The Usos. Rhyno got the win for his team with the gore.

Intermission

* Nikki Bella & Naomi defeated Natalya, Alexa Bliss & Carmella in a Women's Handicap match. Nikki got the win for her team with a TKO on Natalya.

* Randy Orton defeated Bray Wyatt. Good match, but you could tell that both guys were taking it easy for No Mercy. Bray's punches, kicks and big moves looked as soft as a pillow. Orton won when Wyatt tried to walk away. Kane came out, walked down the ramp and "scared" Wyatt back into the ring, where he immediately got RKOd. After the match, Orton was looking at Kane with a "confused thanks" look.

* Baron Corbin defeated Jack Swagger.

* WWE Champion AJ Styles defeated Dean Ambrose and John Cena in a triple threat match after hitting a low blow on Cena. After the match, Styles got on the mic and taunted Cena only for Ambrose to come from behind him and hit Dirty Deeds to the send the crowd home happy. This was the match of the night.

Biggest reactions:

- John Cena (mixed)
- AJ Styles (mixed)
- The Miz

WWE SmackDown LIVE, Sept. 27, 2016: Cena makes his presence known in WWE World Title main event

Republished from WWE

Randy Orton kicked off Tuesday night by calling out Bray Wyatt to finally face him. And he got him, well, sorta.

The New Face of Fear answered Orton’s beckoning by appearing on the TitanTron, informing The Viper that if he wanted to get his hands on him he would simply have to follow the “breadcrumbs.” However, to make matters even stranger, The Eater of Worlds then revealed an hourglass and flipped it over, insinuating that WWE’s Apex Predator only had so much time to get ahold of his ominous adversary.

Are you ready for WWE Backlash?

We are just round the corner for WWE Backlash, a PPV completely dedicated to Team Blue & it's superstars. When the brand extension took place & the rosters split, there were speculations that we may see brand specific PPV's & Backlash marks the start of the same this Sunday, Sep 11, LIVE only on the award winning WWE Network.

Is this a good move by WWE? Well, I feel that this is a great move because it let's you establish the brand & it's superstars distinctly, instead of getting forgotten against bigger superstars & bigger matches. So let's take a look at the matches that are happening at WWE Backlash:

Alexa Bliss vs. Becky Lynch vs. Carmella vs. Naomi vs. Natalya vs. Nikki Bella

It feels amazing to see that WWE is focusing on the Women's division as well. While we have a Women's Champion on RAW, Smackdown isn't far to crown it's own women's champion which will be decided on their first brand specific PPV Backlash. It would be interesting to see how these beautiful & dangerous & stylish WWE women's competitors perform on a night which can reform their careers & the brand as well. Who are you picking up as the winner & your women's champion?

My pick is Naomi

It's been a time of a lot of new things happening within WWE, be it brand split, new championships, new champions to name a few. The latest in this list is the tag team titles which need to be decided at WWE BACKLASH. There is a fight currently on within Smackdown as to who would claim the new tag team championships. The finalists shall be revealed this week on Smackdown & we may see a powerful tag team match at Backlash. What's your pick for the tag team titles?

My pick is American Alpha

The Miz vs Dolph Ziegler

The self proclaimed Hollywood A-lister has been undefeated for the last 160 days(till Backlash day) & that's what's entered his mind. He has become nastier, arrogant than ever before to the extent that he verbally abused the GM of Smackdown LIVE Daniel Bryan on the episode of Talking Smack & it's about time that someone put some sense in that man.

So, for the man who is in the showbiz we have the show-off Dolph Ziggler who can put Miz in his rightful place of being in the line for another title shot by defeating him at Backlash. Who do you pick as the winner?

My pick is Dolph Ziggler

Randy Orton vs Bray Wyatt

The Viper vs The Eater of Worlds, now that's a match worthy of Wrestlemania proportion let alone Backlash. We all know that the Viper has the ability to strike at any split second with his powerful & vicious RKO, but make no mistake about it as the new face of fear is also powerful enough to bring any opponent down with his terrifying looks & if that isn't enough, you always have sister abigail to finish off the task.

These two decorated superstars have everything in their arsenal that could make a powerful match at WWE Backlash thus leaving the WWE Universe craving for more in months to come. Wait until you see how this amazing match transpires. Who do you pick as your winner?

My pick is Bray Wyatt

Dean Ambrose vs AJ Styles

(Image Credit WWE.com)

The Lunatic Fringe has been the most unpredictable WWE Champion till now & now he heads to take on the man that calls himself 'The Phenomenal One'. With 2 wins over John Cena, Styles started calling himself as the face that runs the place, but will Dean put an end to the loud mouth Styles at Backlash?

Who do you pick as your winner? My pick is Dean Ambrose

Is Dean Ambrose getting a huge push?

Written by: Amit Shukla

We all have seen how Dean has been in every main event or story that has happened on Raw or Smackdown, so is Dean getting a push?

Well, it comes as no surprise because ever since Dean was in The Shield, all members were fan favourites until Seth joined hands with The Authority, Roman is on his own but Dean has been making his way slowly & steadily & is currently involved in a wonderful storyline heading towards Wrestlemania & in between a Title shot against The Game on 12th Feb at a WWE Network Special: Roadblock.

We should see him getting a bigger push as Mania comes close because he can stir things up.

Survivor Series (2015) predictions

Dean Ambrose vs. Intercontinental Champion Kevin Owens (WWE World Heavyweight Championship Tournament Semifinals):

With Dean being a WWE Universe favorite & the fact that WWE wants to make this feud even more amazing, it is possible that they would have Dean win this one & then go on to face the winner of the next Semi-Final match which would possibly be Roman Reigns.

Winner : Dean Ambrose

Roman Reigns vs. United States Champion Alberto Del Rio (WWE World Heavyweight Championship Tournament Semifinals)

The MexAmerican native made a huge impact by returning at HIAC & caused the biggest upset by pinning John Cena for the U.S. Title, however it's a new event (hell, not everything needs to rhyme with The New Day) & a fierce competitor Roman Reigns.

Roman had to crawl his way back to the title shot opportunity again ever since he missed it by an inch at Wrestlemania when he lost to Seth Rollins, but with Seth no longer the Champ or in the picture & Alberto not being such a huge fan favorite, the stakes are all in Roman's favor in this match.

Alberto is a favorite in the WWE Lockerroom, but it is sure that The Authority would not like to put someone in a state equivalent to Seth by making him win both the U.S. Title & WWE World Championship.

Winner: Roman Reigns

Divas Champion Charlotte vs. Paige

Paige has been on a rampage ever since Charlotte won the Divas title from Nikki Bella at Summerslam & it has been a huge push for the current divas champ but with the jealousy hyping up in Paige, the relation between the two has gone from bitter to sour & with the way Paige tried to make it personal this week on RAW, it is possible that we will see a huge fight in the ring until we have an unexpected visitor.

Did you get it? Ok, so let me reveal it! It is possible that Paige might try to do a cheapshot by either using the ropes or some othe means & we may have Madusa walking in to ensure that it's all fair in the match thus making Paige loose & setting up a new feud storyline between Madusa & Paige for TLC.

It is evident that Madusa has been criticizing Paige over the last few months about her incompetency & in-ring skills & this would be the right time to introduce Madusa to take the Online brawl to in-ring competition. It would be intresting to see how Madusa makes her entry... Will it it be from backstage or through the audience? With Paige being a heel right now, Madusa's entry will boost her comeback & make her a fan favorite in the blink of an eye.

WINNER: Charlotte

Dolph Ziggler vs. Tyler Breeze

Tyler Breeze made a huge impact(in some's estimation) upon his debut to the main roster but the kid has been unimpressive. It seems unfair that he has been given a huge match at a PPV against a I.C. Title & World Championship holder.

As far as the match goes, we may have Summer come into play & then that could make Dolph loose here, which would actually be the only thing to do, because Tyler hasn't shown any good signs as an in-ring performer & WWE would right now try to make him look worthy of what he is asking for.

It would be unfair to all other superstars who have crawled their way up to be overshadowed by this pathetic performer. His debut reminds me of Adam Rose who was given a push with Rosa but fell face flat.

Winner: Tyler Breeze

The Brothers of Destruction vs. Two members of The Wyatt Family

The brothers of destruction have been a force to fight with for decade+ now, but what will happen when the self proclaimed Face of Fear meets The Deadman & The Demon?

According to reports, Bray Wyatt & Bron Stronman have been picked to fight The Brothers of Destruction, however we all know that the odds can change anytime. It looks absolutely weird that WWE would like to waste two of their players in such an important match.

I am speculating that there would be a time in the match when Erick & Luke would come to the aide of their brothers leaving The Brothers Of Destruction in a handicap state however, this is when we may see Finn Balor & Sting to come to the ring & even things up. It would be an absolute shock incase we see Taker loose tonight, because WWE has been doing an Undertaker Week with huge pop & a loss here would spoil all the enthusiasm.

Although, it is possible that Taker may be pinned tonight to take the story to TLC & then Sting helps again, just to challenge Taker for Mania.

Winner: The Undertaker & Kane
